As many people who know Danielle understand, she is a die hard Halloween Fan. It is her holiday, she loves it, loves the decorations, getting dressed up, the food, the family and the ambiance. After having been married for just a couple of Halloweens this enthusiasm and devotion to this great and wondrous day of mischief and mayhem has begun to rub off on me. So using logic and basic genetic math and reason, Charlotte should love Halloween above and beyond all other holidays...right? Well it may just be the fact that she did not have enough cognitive reasoning and development during her first Halloween (being less than a month old) but it appears that she might be a "4th-er". Charlotte decided to take a late nap on the day we celebrated the 4th and so she decided to stay up late and watch the fireworks, and lets just say that the proof is in the pudding, or if a picture is worth a thousand words, what is a video worth? I will present the evidence and let you decide for yourselves. Please comment and let us know if you think she is a permanent "4th-er" or if we can change her into a "Halloween-er" like her parents.

Hey everyone, sorry that we have fallen behind again, I (Bryan) was talking to my Mom (Grandma Kennedy) and she reminded us that it had been almost a month since we put up pictures. To try and correct this egregious error here are some pictures that we have taken in the last month. They are sort of out of order, we just put them up and will let you enjoy them (hopefully) with minimal interruption!!!

Interruption #1: This is a picture of Charlotte after she got her foot stuck in a Kleenex box and we spent time watching her try and get it off her foot (many many laughs)

Interruption #2: Charlotte trying out the bean bags at the local RC Willey's

How the Kartel was started....

We were "two thousand miles away" but through a few inspired people we were brought together. After a lot of emails, hours and hours on the phone, and quite a few plane rides, Bryan proposed up at Heceta Head, my favorite place up in Oregon. Now we're finally in the same state and sharing the same name and life couldn't be better! Then throw in the mix the most amazing baby Charlotte, and we are counting our many blessings!!
